Our Children Are Our Future

Now we get it. Now we understand why the well heeled opponents of The Education Initiative (TEI) are screaming "DOOM!" They're actually afraid of losing!

According to their own internal poll, TEI is ahead 53%-42%. No, that's not a typo. Those are the real numbers.

So now, they're officially freaking out. They're turning up the dramatics even more on social media. They're ramping up their scare tactics. They're even leaving these door hangers on people's doors. After all, "Our children are our future."

Oh, really? Oh no, they better don't! They best not blaspheme the name of our matron saint like that!

Oh hells to the yes, our children are our future. So why do TEI's well heeled opponents want to deny our children the chance of a better future? Why do they want to continue the gross underfunding of public education in Nevada? Why don't they want to give our kids the tools they need to succeed?

Before they dare to invoke Whitney, they need to remember the greatest love of all. Yes, the children are our future. We need to teach them well and let them lead the way.

And this is exactly what Question 3 offers Nevada voters this fall. Instead of pulling up the rear, we can finally start leading the way. After all, we believe the children are our future. So why not start showing them the greatest love of all by giving them what they need to succeed?
